First edition "No Gun Ri: A Military History of the Korean War Incident" examines one of the most controversial and tragic events of the Korean War—the July 1950 killings near the village of No Gun Ri in South Korea. Rather than focusing only on personal testimony, military historian Robert L. Bateman reconstructs the event through battlefield records, troop movements, military organization charts, maps, and operational analysis. The book explores the rapidly changing conditions faced by American forces during the early days of the war and investigates how confusion, retreat, communication failures, and battlefield decisions contributed to the incident. Combining military history with historical investigation, the work offers a detailed look at both the event itself and the later debate surrounding how the story was reported and remembered. Good condition. Includes dust jacket that is in good condition. Very clean, inside and out. No writing inside. Copyright 2002.
